A case report on deceptive strands or diagnostic clues: aortic valve chordae through the eyes of multi-imaging cardiology guiding ‘the scalpel’
This report highlights the importance of multimodal imaging in diagnosing AVCT, which aids in therapeutic decisions and reduces misdiagnosis risk. The combination of TTE, TEE, CCTA, and CMR offers a comprehensive evaluation, enhancing understanding of this rare condition. The absence of LGE in AVCT may help differentiate it from other valvular disorders.
